Like I said before, I would have a hard time passing up a used ion redline for a used civic si.. and when the turbo ss comes out I think that will be right above the ms3 on my list.

I'm a GM fan though.

I'm not sure if anyone already said this or not, so sorry if I'm making a repost, the Cobolt SS/SC is dead for the 08 Model year, its returning in late 08, with a different Engine, a Direct Injected 2.0L with a 20PSI turbo, and a revised suspention. Its going to push 260HP and 260tq, unfortunatly I think it will make quick work of our car.

Wow, now everything is beating our car. ffs Honda get a F/Ied Si

SoCal07Si · 03-13-2008, 11:39 AM

SS/SC will be getting a test drive...hey, I'm a Chevy guy

I love GM too when they do something right. They appear to be doing the new SS right.

early to tell for me, but it certainly looks promising.

wrong, the new cobalt ss/tc will push a max of 18 stock, but not until the car is broken in, the ECU of that car limits boost to 14lbs until its broken in (1500 miles IIRC from reading about it)

must be new...i thought it was set to make 260hp no matter what the boost..
i.e. it would calculate elvation and temp and all that jazz... sometimes the car will see 18psi some times 20

You kind of have too, don't you? You drive an orphaned, glorified Caviler.

Seriously, though....

The Cobalt SS Supercharged was out of production by the time I was ready to buy. Not that it really mattered, I was looking for a sporty daily driver with great resale value and decent gas milage. I also love the sound that the Si makes. I wouldn't have even cross-shopped the Cobalt for those reasons.

I really hope the domestic car companies make a comeback, but from my point of view, it's not looking good. There are people like my wife who won't even LOOK at Ford, Chevy and Chrysler. I at least look, but have not seen anything worth test driving.... and the resale... my god.

Nothing even came close to the SI sedan when I was looking. Nothing beat it for my needs.

If you are buying a Si for racing other cars, yeah.... a lot will beat it.

**atruhondagrl** · 03-18-2008, 10:27 PM

My Cobalt SS will royally spank all of your SI's.

Hee hee hee

They're both great cars and the cbaltvscvc debate never seems to find an end.

Snake-eyes · 03-18-2008, 11:32 PM

both cars suck...the end?

Im going to get a polo shirt and drive my GTI now as a prep to get an M3 in the future...like a cock

Tennpenn83 · 03-19-2008, 01:36 AM

wow, i can't believe i just read through 179 posts on a topic that i have seen 100 times before

si will win when you go to trade your car in and you get more for your trade. (as long as you don't sit in your car and touch anything inside)

si will win in consumer reports reviews (as long as you don't shift your transmission, especially into 3rd gear)

cobalt ss will win because it gets the LNF 260hp/260tq later this year

ion redline will win because in 10 years, it still won't have any dents or rust

to each his own
